单元：Unit 2 The universal language板块：Welcome t o the unitThoughts on the design:本节课以看、说为主，通过Welcome to the unit部份所提供的四张图片，激活学生对音乐类别的了解，通过该部份相关问题的讨论，进一步激发学生的学习热情并为本单元后面更深切的学习奠定基础。
Teaching aims:After this lesson, students will be able to tell different types of music and musical instruments and they will also be able to talk about their favorite kind of music and famous musicians.Teaching procedures:Step 1 Brainstorming (PPT4-6)1. Show students a picture of people from different countries and ask them how theycan communicate with each other.How do people from different countries communicate with each other? (They can speak English since it is a language used widely in the world. They can draw pictures to get their ideas across. They can also use body language to show their feelings.)2. Get students to focus on the topic of the unit “The Universal language”.If a language can be understood by all the people in the world, it is a universal language. So is English a universal language?(No, not everyone in the world can speak and understand English.)What about pictures? Are they universal? (Yes. A picture can be appreciated by people all over the world.)Is body language also universal? (Yes, body language is more or less t he same throughout the world. It is a very effective way for people speaking different languages to communicate with each other.)3. Draw students’ attention to the unit topic—music.There is also another kind of language which is universal. That is music. Why do we say so? (Because people all over the world can understand music)Prepare the students with vocabulary related to music. Have them brainstorm any word related to the kind of music, people related to music and musical instruments. Kinds of music: classical music, pop music, folk music, swing music, blues, jazz, rock and roll, rap, opera …People related to mu sic: musician, singer, composer, pianist, violinist …Musical instru ments: guitar, piano, violin, drum …[Explanation]该步骤试图从人类不同的种类（语句不通顺）的一路语言引入到音乐那个话题，然后以“头脑风暴”这一活动形式，预备学生的相关辞汇。

牛津译林版高中英语选修八：Unit2TheUniversalLanguage语法
高中英语学习材料（灿若寒星*制作整理）Ellipsis（省略）一个句子中某些部分被省略掉了，这种情况在语法中被称作省略。
省略的目的也是为了避免重复，使语言精练。
大体上来说，被省略的部分是上文已出现过的词语或被省略的部分，并非上文出现的内容，但是在意义上是不言自明的。
1. 简单句中的省略1) 省略主语。
例如：“Get up.”（省略了主语you）（祈使句中的主语通常被省略。
）其它省略主语多限于少数现成的说法。
例如：Thank you for your help. （省略了主语I）Doesn’t matter. （省略了主语it）2) 省略主谓语或主谓语的一部分。
例如：No smoking. （省略了主谓语There is）Have a cup of tea? （省略了主语及谓语的助动词部分will you）3) 省略宾语。
例如：Do you know Mr. Smith?I don’t know. （省略了宾语him）4) 省略表语。
例如：— Are you hungry?— Yes, I am. （省略了表语hungry）5) 同时省略几个成分。
例如：— Are you feeling better now?— Much better. （省略了I am feeling … now）— Have you finished your work?— Not yet. （省略了I have … finished my work …）6) 其它省略结构。
例如：(1) 名词所有格所修饰的名词，表示住宅、店铺、教堂或上文已暗示或明确指出过的事物时，常常可以省略。
例如：We spent the weekend at the Smith’s.(2) What 和How 引导的感叹句中，常可省略主语it 和be动词。
例如：What a wonderful victory (it is) for her!(3) 不定式省略，单独使用不定式符号to代替动词不定式后被省略的动词，常在beafraid, expect, forget, hope, intend, like, love, mean, prefer, refuse, seem, try, want,wish 等后边。

牛津译林版高中英语选修八Unit 2《The Universal Language》教学参考
Unit 2The universal language【美文阅读】What is music?音乐，是人们生活中不可缺少的一部分。
什么是音乐？你喜欢什么样的音乐？Suppose you hit a wooden table with your hand. It makes a sound. Now suppose you hit a ball. It makes a sound. The second sound is called a tone(乐音). A tone is a single musical sound. Music is the art of organizing tones into meaningful patterns of sound. We might call it the language of tones. Sometimes the language of music speaks to us in tones sounding after one another in melody(旋律). Or the tones could be sounding together in harmony(协调)．When tones hit with one another, it is not in harmony. But this hit is often full of meaning. What we call melody is given meaning by its rising or falling or moving straight ahead. It is also given meaning by its rhythm of beats and phrasing, its speed and how loud or soft it is at any moment. All of this sounds very technical. But it doesn't have to be understood or thought about for us to enjoy music. What music means to us often can not be put into words. We can feel that the mu-sic expresses joy or sorrow, pleasure, tenderness(柔情), love, anger—all kinds of things and feelings that words alone could never do.Music can also be enjoyed just for its beauty, and not for what it is saying. We can get pleasure from even a single tone of voice, violin, horn, or some other instruments. We may love a beautiful melody for many years of our lives and always enjoy hearing it.There are, of course, many forms of music, from the anthem(赞美诗) to the symphony, and many types of music, from folk music to opera.【诱思导学】1．Do you like music? What kind of music do you like most?2．According to the above passage, what kinds of expressions can we feel from the music?【答案】 1.Yes, I like it very much. I like soft ( pop, rock and roll, etc. ) music most.2. We can feel that the music expresses joy or sorrow, pleasure, tenderness, love, anger—all kinds of things and feelings that words alone could never do.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，对新课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。
